IfNMN^ ROTARY NEWS Our ijieeting of Dec. 26 was very interesting as it consisted of an agenda that included business, social and entertainment activities. President Herb and his officers are commended for effort put forth in the organization of such a fine %ieeting. Santa did alright by our club as it was announced that we finished fourth in attendance lor November in our district which is made up of sixty Rotary clubs. Ou£ average of 97.14 was a mere 1.52 points behind the second place club and 2.86 back of the Hillside club in first place. Attendance Chairman Dan Justen, assisted by Jack Kelsy and Tom Bolger, generated the "hieat" that produced this fine showing. Dr. Wm. A. Mye acted as social chairman fw this meeting, the annual Christmas party for the sons and daughters of our members. There were thirty of our thirtyjcjye members present, Klas^Pwo visiting Rotarians and forty-five children of Rotarians making a total of seventy-seven at the noon luncheon, which reflects the (committee's ability in completing their assignment. The entertainment, under the direction of "Mr. No. 1 Rotarian" Oscar lbcr was M.C.'d in the manner originated and copyrighted by Oscar himself. The program consisted of audience participation, with the children teamed against the Rotarians. The latter, even with the help of one of our well known lawyers, did not make a very good showing. The highlight of the program included two songs in Japanese, "Silent Night" and "O Holy Night", sung by Miss Kazu'ko Aoshima, a graduate of Nanzen university ^n Nagoya City, Japan. Miss Awi.hima is attending Clark college in DCibuque, la., doing /post graduate work. She is a roommate of Patricia Walsh daughter of Earl Walsh, and was a guest in the Walsh home over the holiday. 1.207.240.000 FOUNDS TURKEY DISAPPEAR IN '63 cents a dozen for eggs this year. Prices have been good enough to encourage a slight increase in production for 1964. That may cut the price by about two cents a dozen In the first half of 1964 below the same months of 1963. Broilers» About 2,100,000,000 broilers disappeared from dinner tables, picnic baskets, lunch boxes, and refrigerators in 1963, 4 percent more than in 1962. Prices received by farmers for live birds averaged 14.6 cents a pound. Except -for 1961, this average was the lowest since the depression years before World War II. v The poultry economists mentioned earlier expect broiler production to be substantially larger in the first half of 1964 than in the same period of 1963. They figure that farmers will get only 14.0 to 14.5' cents a pound, a penny "less than in the first half of 1963. One penny will not buy much -- maybe six minutes on a parking meter. But a cent a pound on the 3,700,000,000 pounds-to bfe sold in the first half of 1964 would be $37,000,000. Forecasting is an aleatory business. (Aleatory is a longhaired word that we recently found jn the dictionary. It means risky.) But it seems to be safe to say that consumers will have abundant supplies of poultry and eggs at low prices during 1964. We hope that the producers make a profit from their business. A magician once gained world fame by making a fiveton elephant disappear from a theateV stage. But that is nothing compared with what the consumers of this country are doing. They are about to stow away the last of 1,287,240,000 pounds of turkey. That is the amount supplied by farmers this year. Statisticians calculate the supply of turkey at 6.8 pounds per capital, or enough to allow each man, woman and child half of a 14-pound bird. Farmers received about 22.4 cents a pound for live turkeys in 1963. Profits, apparently were good enough to increase the turkey production in 1964. A group of nationally known poultry economists who recently reviewed the situation concluded that production would increase by 3 to 5 percent. They said that if the increase in production is in line with their forecast, prices will be about the same next fall as they have been this year. Eggs By New Year's Eve consumers in this country vvi,ll have made 63,000.000,000 eggs (nloro or less) disappear since the revelry of last year. Farmers received about 34 ACCEPT PETITIONS FOE SENATE AND ILLINOIS HOUSE Johnsborg EXTEND GREETINGS TO READERS FOR THE COMING YEAR Betty Hettormano "fhis being this last column for 1963, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their cooperation this past year.

V Home for the Holidays Ben and Anita Freungl were real happy to have their three sons home with them for Christmas. Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Freund were here from Elyria, Ohio, . Lambert was home from Champaign and Neil came in from Dayton Catholic University. Can't you imagine what a joyous holiday they had! Sad Note Our sincere sympathies are extended to the family 6f Ray Groh. Mr. Groh passed away on Dec. 22 in the Harvard hospital. His presence will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Funeral services were conducted from St. John's Church on Friday morning. He is survived by his wife, a son, a daughter, one grandchfld, a brother and a sister. Hopital Patients Twelve year old Peggy Peterson entered the McHenry hospital last Thursday afternoon*, When she comes out, Tavo things will be missing -- Mr, Tonsils and Mrs. Adenoids. These two things have been giving Peg trouble so her doct o r s a i d t h e y m u s t g o . - g o - go! I'm sure she will bounce back in a hurry. Mrs. Joe Frett, entered the.. McHenry hospital shortly before Christmas.; We all join in hoping her stay will be short. Dance Coming Up, The annual dance sponsored by the Jak-Ana Heights association will be held in the community club hall on Jan. 18. These dances are always such furi and this year's will be no excepti&n, we hope. The theme will be 'Schnitzel Bonk' and costumes are optional. Be sure you are ready when your ticket seller contacts you so you don't miss out on any of the fun.

All three as well as Frqd Durrenberg will be returning to their respective .army camps around the first of the year.
